I cannot give you any answers that will help but maybe some which might
explain what you are saying.

My understanding is that vacation auto-responding is a function of the
server, not the mail reader.

Because the splitting is done when retrieving the emails, not when you
open up a particular group.  A group that is only the recipient of split
emails will not necessarily poll the server.
